Holliday, are you opposed to the decentralization of development (e.g., as depicted in this animated GIF)?
Development is decentralized by nature because it's open-source -- anyone is free to fork the code.

Bitcoin XT is an example of someone freely forking the code.  Do you think XT is a positive thing for Bitcoin because it gives people choice?  Or a negative thing for Bitcoin?
Choice is usually good, when it allows for informed decisions. In this regard, I can even consider XT good. But overall I consider XT bad for numerous technical and ideological reasons, as I have repeatedly argued.

Anyway, XT never gained traction, and I believe it has no future under current circumstances. People have made their decision.

Yes, under the current circumstances the blocks are just half full. But the times, they are always a changin'. Tenfold txs increase spring 12 - spring 13.
Better to get ready than not. Not?

Holliday, are you opposed to the decentralization of development?

No.

development is already decentralized. hello, open source software here.

its not because you peter dont know how to code and hence never contributed to the github repo that it is centralized.

seriously, you pathetic prick.

Ah, you are one of those clowns who think that the internet or the blockchain isn't an interdisciplinary work. You seem to believe that coding children without any life experience produce such environments. The absurdity is screaming ...

What dont you understand in "development"?

Does Peter qualify in software development? No.


Of course yes. His life experience in different playgrounds is on an infinite higher level than that of some core devs and mods who left school some months ago.

Ten anonymous heroes against Peter. Great, how you show together who is somebody and who is not.

Then what? Peters med degree consist of a field relevant to bitcoin overall? No.

You deleted the phrase "(e.g., as depicted in this animated GIF)." Are you opposed to multiple forkwise-compatible implementations of the Bitcoin protocol?

I am not opposed to multiple implementations (forkwise-compatible or not) of the Bitcoin client/protocol/whatever.

I think I would actually prefer a fork at this point. There are clearly irreconcilable differences between certain groups here. Let's fork already and may the best chain win.

Do you really believe I am trying to kill Bitcoin?

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Haha fair enough.

Peter, do you know what "sophism" means? Humour me, provide a definition in a reply to this post

Sophism is a fallacious argument, especially when used to deceive.

In what way do you think I am trying to deceive?

No, it is defined by repeating an argument (either fallacious or not) ad infinitum to irritate the adversary into submission.

I believe I argued before that development focused on Core is natural as well, as it represents some kind of a natural monopoly, where it is more effective to point resources at one implementation; the 'decentralization' as you are suggesting is in fact associated with wasting resources.

The only reason these multiple implementations can exist is when Core can't deliver a particular feature for technical or ideological reasons, and thus this wasting of resources is justified. But unless the market really wants this feature, the Core will stay a monopoly, no matter how many GIFs you create, it's simply more effective resource-wise.

Everybody out there is talking about the ideas of Peter R.
Nobody is talking about the ideas of the brg and that mod.
Which is no surprise.

Everybody out there is laughing about the 'spherical blockchain' ideas of Peter R.

Which is no surprise.

Of course, that's why they are forced to censor him. Poor core devs and mods.

censoring a toxic verbalist that in no way has ever contributed to bitcoin code is more than deserved.

I have been trying to avoid ad hominems, but XTers on the mailing list today look like a pure sect. Why are devs wasting time with them... Roll Eyes
Peter R's invented gridlock https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02501.html

Can't agree more with BtcDrak - this is toxic.

It's all well planned of course; Peter can make a censorship victim claim if they ban him too, or they can continue to tolerate his sophistry. Banning is better IMO,

Yes, the stalinist/fascist mentality of you and your idols will be exposed better that way. You should repeat banning and censoring as much as you can.

bitcoin is not a democracy.

What is so wrong with making it easier for the community to express their free choice by giving them more options?  If development indeed does decentralize as per the animation below, how is that a bad thing?
Multiple implementations of the consensus rules will elicit unplanned chain forks, and the chaos that would ensue.

If the probability of forking could be understood and made arbitrarily small, would you agree that multiple implementations were a positive think for Bitcoin?

I already agree that multiple implementations are a good thing; I use them. But you're being devious as usual, Peter: you don't mean "multiple implementations", you mean "different versions of consensus critical code". So I haven't answered your question directly (a dangerous proposition, bitkids).

This is clearly what you intend Peter; to kill Bitcoin with "kindness".

Do you really believe I am trying to kill Bitcoin?

Peter, your demonstration of sociopathy is genuinely disturbing to normal people. That you can so casually make statements like the above when the concealed intent of your behaviour is so poorly concealed is in itself concerning. It's incredibly obvious, and incredibly odious.

Are you sure you really want to continue with this Peter? What you're doing could possibly be analysed and remembered as a crucial part of early 21st century history. Are you up for the inevitable consequences that could stem from that? Considerable amounts of responsibility can be attributed to a picture of your face.
